That number is as meaningless as the RIAA's claims of gargantuan losses from piracy. It rests upon the completely unfounded assumption that time spent playing with the "doodle" could and would have otherwise been spent doing productive work. That's a nice wet dream for HR but doesn't line up anything like reality from my experience.
